Maybe one didn’t threaten to shove a tennis ball down a line judge’s throat on camera?

Serena is hideous-looking. Call me racist, I don't care. Whether someone is hideous-looking or not has NOTHING to do with race. If Susan Boyle was a tennis player, I'd not want to see her face on a product, either..

"Boyle's salad dressing" with a picture of her mug on the label? NO THANK YOU. What do you call me when I think a WHITE person is fugly, huh?

I don’t watch either one. I can’t stand Sharapova’s grunting. I boycott all grunters, period. It’s a big turnoff and totally unnecessary. I also refuse to view any men’s matches that have grunters. Life’s too short.

Maybe because Maria has more international appeal, that is to say more international companies prefer her to represent their products and services than Serena.

I just don’t know. And I can’t understand why Anna Kournikova (who wasn’t really in the top tier of female tennis players) had/has so many endorsements.

It’s a real mystery but there must be some explanation. The truth is out there. /sarc

It does seem somewhat unfair. Williams is obviously better.

Nothing new. Anna Kournikova used to get paid big bucks despite being a mediocre tennis player.
